How can I simulate a key press without an object with a platformer/top down behavior?

Hello, is there a way to simulate a key press without a character with a platformer/top down behavior?
Thanks

there is no way to do it.
if you where hoping for easier pc/phone crossover controls, then you could use control variables that get set when you ether press the key or touch is down and on object

Thanks, it’s kind off annoying to use variables but I guess I’ll have to do it.
Have a good day
